Motorbike accident....ggggrrrrrrrrrr

[MABS]

For 16 yrs my dh has has his own variety of 'babies' - motorbikes. 15 yrs ago he wrote one off and escaped very lightly.

Yesterday he wrote off his brand new Triumph and again walked away virtually unscathed - apart from a battered ego.

I'm not worried about the financial side of it, he's insured and anyway he pays for it. But, i don't think i can take the stress anymore of waiting for 'that phonecall' that tells me he's had another accident. To add to the worry of it all, he works nights so these all occur in the dark.

Am I being unreasonable in saying enough is enough, as we have 2 children now too? He has a car also so that's not a problem , but he insists on using the bike to go to work all year round. Opinions please.

MABS - I can feel your relief...

My dh had a motorbike for awhile and everytime he went out riding with his friends I was constantly worried. He did have a couple of small accidents but three weeks before our wedding the hospital called. He had been in an accident on the way to work. He had on big heavy workboots but had still smashed his ankle so it had to be rebuilt. No telling what would have happened if he hadn't had on the big workboots. After several days in the hospital they kindly gave him a black covering for his plaster so it wouldn't be so obvious for the wedding photos!! He never did get back on the bike and I was so relieved so I am pleased for you and hope your DH sticks to his word.
